I like the idea too (and would definitely be discussing The Sheild) - it should probably be brought up in B'craxy, though, just so we don't leave anyone out of the loop.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
That was going to be my next question. Do you think it's a vote type thing? Or just a minor policy change? Because I'm concerned we're going to get into that big television discussion again, whether this is the network-cable split or not.

It's fine with me, although it wasn't what I thought of initially...I didn't plan for Premium Cable's long Hiatiuses(Hiati? Okay, that's a little Sorkinly...all I need now is to push my chair really fast down a hallway. But I can't type and do that. So.) Actually, Corwood, I personally, cop junkie and all, don't care for The Shield...I think I need people to be a *little* heroic, sometimes. Funny thing to say as such a big Clay Davis fan, but I guess it's true.

Dudes, The Sheild is made of awesome! It's character-driven and arcy and morally ambiguous!
I don't know that I'd start with this season, though - when I say it's arcy, there's stuff being dealt with now that goes back 6 seasons. I honestly can't think of a show with better continuity. So rent the DVDs and catch up before jumping in.)

(sorry for the serial posting- I'm posting from my phone.)
I hope we don't need to vote on this. It seems like a minor enough change to make by bullshit consensus.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd rather avoid lightbulbs until we know it's taken off and it's a good fit -- start discussing the other cussing-and-fucking shows, and if the BS consensus sticks, we can worry about making it official later.

Fine with me. I mentioned in b'crazy anyway, so that if people are wondering where we talk about such things they know to look here first.
So the Riches! Man, what a freakin' show. This most recent episode had me alternately squeeing and tearful. I think the best part was when Dahlia and Wayne come in to the lawyer's office and start speaking with these posh British accents, and I just started to crack up at the subtext of it all.

Yeah, that was funny.

F/X = poor man's Premium Cable, started by former HBO Execs. I'm loving The Riches, Nip|Tuck, Rescue Me. I'm game, even if I end up reading later more than posting during, due to still being a Luddite without a home computer.

I don't think Premium's ever done w&p, javacat. Not to worry.
